In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue. Once Columbus got to his destination he killed, raped, and enslaved natives. I think Columbus is a villain because he was a cruel, self centered man who does not deserve the praises for the discovery of America. First, he raped, killed, and enslaved the natives of the places he sailed to.
Columbus over saw the killing of some Indians and ordered the enslavement of others. Columbus him self raped an Indian after ” Beating her with a piece of rope.” Also, he could be described as a self centered, delusional man. His critics have described him as not a genius, but a ” Stubborn ego maniac who convinced him self that the world was 25 percent smaller than it actually was.” He believed that he was saving the souls of the natives and by granting them internal life and taking the natives and shipping them to spain. Columbus does not deserve to be praised for the discovery of America. If he did not find it some other Europeans would have found it in about ten years. He was not the only one who thought the earth was round, and the ideas of similar voyages had been perversely proposed.
Columbus was a self centered, delusional man who does not deserve the praises for the discovery of America. He also allowed the killings, raping, and the enslavement of the natives. As one can plainly see that columbus is a true villain, he does not have the right to be praised at all. THE END.
